New Jersey on an Incredible Run

If one were to look at the New Jersey Devils this year it would be a tale of two seasons, the pathetic one before Jacques Lemaire took over as coach, and the current one that has been the hottest team since then. To think that the Devils would have been in contention for a playoff spot back on January 15 when they were like 13-30 truly boggles the mind as they have loss just three times since then! Whether or not they continue at this torrid pace is questionable but their turnaround has to be one of the most amazing in hockey history. While they are still a long shot to make the playoffs having so many teams to jump over with a month to go, if they manage to accomplish it, Jacques Lemaire and the 2010-2011 team will have earned their place In Devils history regardless of what happens in the postseason. I know that there are more than a couple of teams at the top of the standings that are hoping that the Devils don't manage to reach the playoffs, as they would be one tough team to have to face in the first round.
